It looks like my sick pullet has some sort of respiratory ailment. She's breathing heavily, is chirping and has her feathers ruffled.

I picked up a pack of terramycin this morning at the local feed store. However, it looks like the dosage is 100 mg per quart of water. The entire package is 181 grams.

Any tips on measuring terramycin.

I asked my dairy farmer friend what he does, and he laughed. He's never dealt in that small dosage before.
 
per WES:
4 tsp per gallon for 4 days then cut to 2 tsp per gallon for 6 days.
 
If you give the Terramycin to hens that are laying, how long should you wait after taking them off before eating the eggs?
 
That sounds like an awful lot!!! 4 tsp! You might want to call the company that makes the Terramyicin and find out.
 
one of the problems with water application of medications is that a sick bird is usually not drinking very much... often after a couple days they will perk up a bit and drink more.... (they will also not drink a gallon of water... as far as I can tell the advice given by WES is a good general one to follow)
 
Terramycin will not do anything for a respiratory problem. You should get gallimycin or tylan 50 or something specifically for respiratory.
